Choosing UK or US Cultural identity – a cultural affinity with one option or the other but a British ● student can do the American option and vice versa!! Independent reading – there’s more reading to do at home with the American ● option but that doesn’t mean that there’s less work to do at home in the British option! Pace – The British option spends more time on each text. Some students like this ● whereas others may find it frustrating to spend so much time on one book!! Some like the faster turnaround of texts in The American option whereas others find that it’s too fast!
